2. RELEASE
For Immediate Release:

Created by a
Cooperative Coalition
At the Insititute of Global
Education, a special NGO consultant to the United Nations Economic
and Social Council, for Earth Day and Earth Year April 22, 2002-2003,
a group of individuals and not-for-profit organizations have
established a cooperative scholarship program. Its purpose is
to make a unique, intercultural, Natural Systems Thinking Process
(NSTP) readily available to the public.
NSTP enables people to increase
personal and environmental wellness through thoughtful contacts
with natural systems within and around them.
The coalition has formed because
its members deeply care about building responsible relationships
to preserve the integrity of humanity and ecosystems. The coalition
has found that the need for affordable education that reverses
our destructive ways with each other and the environment can
be met through NSTP. NSTP helps people discover how Nature cooperatively
maintains its unpolluted integrity while nurturing diversity.
NSTP provides distant learning,
sensory education. Its online activities and readings
enable people to make genuine contact with natural systems. Students
learn directly from the intelligent support of their origins
and spirit in Nature, as well as from each other and mentors
worldwide.
The scholarships make NSTP
research and degrees affordable for qualified applicants while
it helps students learn how to implement cost effective cooperative
education. Scholarships funds are also generated by donations
from IGE alumni and other interested individuals. Students graduate
debt free and connected with opportunities to help themselves
and others fulfill their deeper ideals for peace on earth through
peace with earth.
The program's director, Dr.
Michael Cohen, author of "Reconnecting With Nature,"
says, "The IGE program is for students who respect Nature
and want to help bring Earth, humanity and themselves in a balance.
To this end they cooperatively share their skills, knowledge
and energies to the program's educational, counseling and administrative
functions." The program is available in cooperation with
the online, distant learning centers of the cooperating schools.
Many of the IGE-IUPS students
are accomplished, mid-career, professionals from a wide variety
of occupations. They learn, use and teach NSTP as an environmentally
and socially responsible component to their work and thereby
contribute to contemporary people living sustainably.
Much of the knowledge and teaching
in the program is free since it is provided by
conscious sensory contact with Earth and its natural systems
within and around us. Researching and facilitating NSTP is learned
and practiced as part of the degree program course work. This
makes the program more self- supporting and helps reduce tuition.
